Railroad Building in the West.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The Railway Age reports
the amount Of new railroad track main line
laid in the United States from January ! to
June /, 1887, to be 2,35l miles, an addition Of
1S7 miles since last months report. This
total has never before been equaled at this
season Of the year, with the single exception
Of the year 1882. More than half the track
thus far reported laid is as follows: Indian
Territory, 800 miles; Texas, 366; Kansas,
1852; Dakota, 222, making a total IN these
four portions Of the country Of 1,240 miles,
while California has added 49,, Colorado, 101,
and Nebraska 100 miles. None Of the other
states, so far as the record shows, have yet
laid 100 miles each, but several Of them will
soon greatly exceed that figure. The work of
construction is lmost entirely confined to the
new west, not a mile being reported from the
New England states or New York, with the
exception of Massachusetts, in which eleven
miles have been laid, and only thirty miles
are credited to the great state Of Pennsyl-
vania. The south Is showing considerable
progress, Florida, Alabama and Georgia
being in the lead; but the chief activity is in
the great central belt west Of the Missouri
river.

LONDON, June 3.-The first Of the Jubilee
State concerts takes place this evening at
Buckingham palace. Desperate efforts have
been made by legions of people to secure in
vitations, but the order went forth from her
majesey that only the cream OF the list were
to be honored with Invitations and hence the
gathering, while it will be large, viii he very

London have moved heaven and earth to Sc

says that no American can secure invitations

OF the minister, continues the talk OF the
American colony and is very generally anath-
ematized.

Lord Randolph Churchill Tells the Work
men Of Funds Wasted.

LONDON, June 3.-Lord Randolph Church.
Ill was enthusiastically received by the
Northampton Workmen's club tonight.
Responding to an address he said: The true
remedy for trade depression is economy in
public expenditures. The workers must not
allow Ireland to absorb all their attention.
bat must bring pressure to bear to prevent
such extravagancies as spending 81, OOO, 600
on the army and admiralty building and 9l7,-
600 for decorating Westminster abbey IN
honor OF the queens jubilee.
At a meeting OF Northampton this even.
ing Lord Randolph Churchill advised the
untonists to make q solid stand and show
Gladstone they were equally determined as
himself In the matter Of the Irish question.
When parliament reassembled strong meas.
ures ought to be adopted to prevent the
crimes bill being amended till it became use
less. Returning to the question Of economy
he condemned the expenditures for the army
and navy and said that under the present
system the country is travelling at racing
speed along the road leading to utter, irretriev-
able ruin. In the event Of war England
might, after a maddcned delay and pouring
out money like water, put 10000 men in the
held. Doubtless England had a very power
iul neet on paper, bat not q single fortress of
strategic importance throughout the empire
is properly armed and provisioned. Many are
entirely unarmed and unprovisioned. Every
department OF the military and naval service
Is supplied with defective weapons despite the
vast expenditures. There was not at home
transportation facilities for 20, 600 men. Lord
Churchill then related several anecdotes to
illustrate the truth of his statements, depicting
the helpless condition of the fleet after bonn
harding Alexandria, and the miserable condi.
ton Of the ordnance ammunition in the
khartoum expedition. He heard that
III 1856 the ordnance committee de-
signed several forty-three ton guns
and asked the Armstrong; to construct
ffteen Of them. The Armstrong; protested
the designs were bad, but they were told to
mind their w business and make the guns.
When they were made Capt. Noble refused to
send them TO sea, saving they would burst.
He also was told 20 mind his own business.
Four OF the guns were put aboard the Colling-
wood, and on the second round, firing half a
cartridge, one Of them burst. The whole
were then condemned at a loss of goo, 900.
Lord Randolph made numerous other revela-
tons In effect Of the ineliciency and badness
In designs of new vessels for the fleet. He
said: perhaps you understand the sort bf
system OF expanding public money, against
which ! dashed myself and utterly refused to
be connected with for a day or an hour"
AT the close Of his speech Lord Churchill
said he had a plan which, while undoubtedly
radical, sweeping and revolutionary, would
place the country In a position to fairly per-
feet Its military preparations and save money.

FRATERNAL FEELING
Unrestrained, Results in the Killing of
Q. b. Willard by b. 7. Richardson.

LoUP CITY, Neb., May 3O.-The excitement
over the killing Of o. b. Willard, editor OF
the Sherman County Times, by b. T. Rich.

somewhat subsidized. Immediately after the
shooting Saturday afternoon Richardson was
arrested and run into the hills north Of town
in order TO keep him out Of reach Of an In.
furiated crowd of the dead mans friends
who would have lynched him or attempted to
do so.
Early Sunday morning Sheriff Pcdlar
brought him into twon, and after securing
some assistance, started with him to some
adjoining county having a secure Jail.
The bad blood between the two men was
caused 10y personalities appearing in each OF
the two papers. Both men finally became

Immediately after the publication Richard

vacating the chair, saw Willard standing

Richardson with "A piece OF metal, aftcrward

volyer and fired two shots which took effect
near the heart. Willard turned, took two or
three steps and fell, expiring instantly.
At this writing the excitement has almost

the saddcss affair In the history Of the vii

Richardson Is a young man, always con.

Melodious Mexican Bells.

In the large tower of Morella hangs the monster bell, which is rarely sounded, but there are many others of moderate size which are continually chiming. All these bells, and indeed nearly all the bells in the republic, are remarkable for sweet ness and softness of tone. It is very rarely that one hears 8 harsh bell. They are exceedingly melodious and pleasing. It is sometimes explained that this is due to the mixture of silver in the bell metal, and that the new bells are cast from old metal. I believe that the chief reason why the Mexican bells are so much more musical than ours is that the Mexican bells are artistically made, shaped with reference to tone, thin at the edge, each one a work of art intelligently nanipu- lated, not mechanically cast without refer ence to the sound it shall produce. The great bells are struck with clapper, and not swung There would be much less objection to the use of church bells in the United States-the harsh and barbarous jangle which shocks the Sunday stiffness if our bells had any of the musical quality of the Mexican.-Harper's Magazine.
